Ruby on Rails Case Studies
Real-world Rails projects demonstrating our expertise in modernization, performance optimization, and custom development.
StyleShop: Rails 4 to Rails 8 Modernization
Challenge
StyleShop, a Dutch fashion e-commerce platform, was running on Rails 4.2 with an outdated jQuery frontend. Security vulnerabilities, slow page loads (3-5 seconds), and difficulty hiring developers forced them to consider a complete rewrite.
Solution
We modernized the application to Rails 8 with Hotwire and Solid Queue, maintaining zero downtime. Replaced jQuery with Stimulus controllers, implemented Russian Doll caching, optimized database queries, and added comprehensive test coverage.
Results
- 70% faster page loads - from 3.5s to 1.1s average
- Zero downtime deployment - staged migration over 3 weeks
- 35% increase in conversions - faster checkout process
- €50,000 saved vs. complete rewrite estimate
"The modernization was seamless. Our customers didn't notice any downtime, but they definitely noticed the faster site. Sales increased immediately after launch."
- Petra de Vries, CEO
FinSecure: Secure Rails API Platform
Challenge
FinSecure needed a secure, high-performance Rails API to connect their legacy banking systems with modern mobile apps. Requirements included PCI-DSS compliance, sub-50ms response times, and comprehensive audit logging.
Solution
Built a Rails 8 API with GraphQL, implementing JWT authentication, rate limiting with Solid Cache, comprehensive security auditing, and real-time monitoring. All endpoints passed security penetration testing and PCI-DSS compliance audits.
Results
- 35ms average API response - exceeding performance requirements
- Zero security breaches - comprehensive security implementation
- 99.99% uptime - highly reliable architecture
- Delivered in 6 weeks - using AI-assisted development
"Security and performance were non-negotiable. TTB delivered a Rails API that exceeded all our requirements and passed rigorous penetration testing."
- Robert Chen, CTO
MediHealth: Healthcare SaaS MVP in 3 Weeks
Challenge
MediHealth, a Dutch healthcare startup, needed an MVP for their patient management system to secure Series A funding. Traditional development estimates were 4-6 months, but they needed to demo in 6 weeks.
Solution
Using AI-assisted Rails development, we built a complete MVP with patient records, appointment scheduling, billing integration, and HIPAA-compliant data storage. Hotwire enabled real-time updates without complex JavaScript.
Results
- 3 weeks to MVP - 75% faster than traditional estimates
- €15,000 total cost - 70% below traditional development
- Series A funding secured - MVP impressed investors
- HIPAA compliant - passed all security audits
"I didn't believe it was possible. We needed an MVP in 6 weeks, and TTB delivered in 3. The quality was exceptional, and we secured our Series A funding."
- Emma Rodriguez, Director
